I think this coin is forked from ARK since there are many similarities with the ark coins, such as the DPOS mechanism, and 201 delegates, I can see some famous delegates from lisk and ark community.
Using the term "forked" is not appropriate for this coin in comparison with ARk because oxycoin serves a completely different purpose than what Ark is meant for.
This Token is not forked from ARK, it is forked from Shift which is also a DPoS.
All DPoS tokens will have a lot of easy comparisons but also some differences.
Ark has 51 delegates and a 8 second blocktime. OXY has 201 delegates and 15 second blocktimes. Shift has 101 delegates and 30 second blocktimes
OXYCoin is one of these solutions and the next few months will be very active and productive for all of us
